He said it has been established that the Houthis exploit vital resources to support their war effort and enhance their military capabilities, specifically their ballistic missile and UAV programmes, which underscores their brutal and terrorist methodology of exploiting vital resources to fuel their hostile activities.
“In light of the continued attacks, which pose a direct threat to the lives of civilians and the safety of civilian objects, the Joint Forces Command of the Coalition carried out a precision military operation this morning to neutralise vital resources used by the Houthis to execute their repeated, brutal attacks, as well as to threaten the security of the Kingdom, Yemen, and maritime shipping lanes in the southern Red Sea,” he said.
He further said the Joint Forces Command of the Coalition continues to take and implement the necessary operational measures to deter the behaviour of the Houthis and to stop their use of vital resources to support their war effort.
“Furthermore, the Houthis must cease all hostile and brutal operations against civilians and civilian objects; otherwise, they shall bear the consequences of their hostile behaviour,” he added in the statement.
